After a good start to the season, Dan Evans is looking to overcome his recent slump in form when he takes on Federico Coria in his opening match at Indian Wells.
Tale of the Tape – Key Stats (2022 – Hard)
| H2H: | Dan Evans (WR 29) | Federico Coria (WR 65) | 
| Tournament Previous Best | R3 (2021) | R1 (2021) | 
| 1st Serve % | 61 | 67.3 | 
| Service Games Won % | 78.9 | 63.6 | 
| Break Points Saved % | 41.2 | 55.6 | 
| 2nd Serve Return Points Won % | 49.8 | 47.2 | 
| Break Points Converted % | 43.8 | 27.3 | 
Evans will have to be wary of Coria’s clutch patterns of play on serve under pressure but the Brit has a superior break point conversion rate which should give him the advantage here.
Playing styles and prediction
Coria is a clay-court specialist and has picked up most of his ranking points on the red dirt over the last year. The Argentinian has only played two matches on hard courts with one of them being his first round win over Pablo Cuevas at Indian Wells.
Evans just needs to do the basics really well and show a consistent level to get through this match. The Brit will be hoping to pick up some momentum over the American hard court swing heading into the clay court season and it’s matches like these where Evans must be winning in order to continue making progress.
Prediction: Evans in straight sets.
